This is exactly what you get after running the INSTALL target. The way  
I see it, we can either do lots of Windows-specific things in the  
CMake build files (I think the way it is now after a build is mostly  
because of how CMake works by default on Windows) or just tell users  
to build the INSTALL target...

Once again, I don't see the problem. Less time spent on the build  
files = more time to spend on the actual OSG code.
